CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly kept former U.S. President Donald Trump waiting for over an hour before a scheduled meeting, sparking reactions across social media. The delay, which many interpreted as a power move, led to widespread discussion online, with netizens calling it “brutal” and “humiliating.”
This incident is reminiscent of past meetings where Putin has delayed world leaders, reinforcing his reputation for strategic timing in diplomacy. Political analysts suggest that such delays are often used as psychological tactics to assert dominance before high-level discussions. While Trump has previously expressed admiration for Putin’s leadership, this episode has fueled debates about the power dynamics between Russia and the U.S. during his presidency.
Social media platforms were flooded with reactions, with many users mocking Trump for having to wait. Memes and jokes comparing this to previous encounters between world leaders quickly went viral. Critics pointed to the incident as an example of how global leaders perceived Trump during his tenure, while his supporters dismissed it as irrelevant political theater.
Despite the online uproar, no official statement was released by either the Kremlin or Trump’s office regarding the delay. However, this latest episode adds to the long history of tense and complex relations between the U.S. and Russia.
With geopolitical tensions still high, moments like these continue to shape public perception of world leaders and their interactions on the global stage. Whether intentional or not, Putin’s delay has once again placed the spotlight on the unpredictable nature of international diplomacy.
